T.e.terrestris

[GarterGuy]

A buddy of mine sent me this pic of a terrestris, not sure where he found it, but it got me thinking. Why aren't more people working with this species (or subspecies to be more exact)?? I know Don has a single female, but I don't know of anyone else in the US who's working with them. They're just beautiful snakes and I'd love to work with them, if I could get any. Well anyways, enjoy.

it is a very nice looking snake, might have to put it on the list.......

I'd very much like to work with that subspecies. I don't know who breeds that colour morph, though. I've only seen the extreme red one.

I'd be happy with that! Are you talking about the ones that Alan Francis used to work with?

I don't know what he used to work with, these were in some older threads.

I remember some them looking like this:

Others were more red and had only very little black markings on their body.

If you every come upon any....keep me in mind....I'll do the same.

The T.e.terrestris are great looking specimens. My understanding of the California regs is that you can legally take two of each speciec of Thamnophis from the wild as long as you have a valid fishing licence (except the Sans of coarse).

Here's a link to help with the California regs:

Giant garters are protected also.... as far as I know Butler's aren't protected in Michigan..but don't quote me on that. we had hundreds of them on the air national guard base I was stationed at in the 80's. I am hoping to acquire a few for breeding this summer....

Wow, thast one heck of a snake!
I've seen some offered, but I didn't buy them because they look way to much like my parietalis. I might get confused
